Shared Memories of Cheadle Hulme
 Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle Road c1965 (ref: C285083) |
Cheadle Road
This is taken from by St Andrew's Church looking back towards Cheadle Hulme. We lived on Hulme Hall Road at that time. One or two years later I attended Sunday school at St Andrews and also Junos which was an organisation similar to cubs that was held in a hut at the back of the church. I remember the petrol station and further on towards the corner of Buckingham Road?? was RS McColls newsagents. Turn down Buckingham Road and keep going to Queens Road Primary School where I started in 1968. On the right would be the Kenilworth pub. Further along Cheadle Road past the junction was a few shops and the post office. I think it was called Connolly's. Dad would have had a Ford Prefect when this picture was taken. Behind the camera heading back towards Cheadle you pass the golf links. Last edited: 27/02/2007 17:44 by Bryan Baskerville |

 Cheadle Hulme, Station Road c1955 (ref: C285022) |
Year: 1968
Station Road
This is a picture of Station Road with Snapes's hardware shop on the corner. The petrol pump was no longer in use by then but the paraffin one was. Opposite Snapes's is Oak Meadow where we used to play on our bikes and climb trees. Working back along behind the camera on the same side was the Elycian cinema. Lovely little picture house. I saw Where Eagles Dare, Carry on Camping, the Jungle Book etc there. Also Kes (to my mum's horror). We had intermissions and ice cream and orange drinks sold by attendants with torches and a tray then. Further on just before the railway bridge is Pimlotts butchers with an abattoir at the back. Was still in use as I remember. Just past the railway bridge on the right was Williams & Deacons Bank on the corner of Mellor Road. Further up Mellor Road was Churches grocers. Mum worked there for Mr Church. Also just past Churches was a sweet shop where we used to go. The chap who ran it was a foreign gentleman possibly Polish or similar. I always remember choosing each sweet from the counter and he would repeat my "One of those" with "Vonne of sose". I once put my old penny in the chewing gum machine outside his shop and it didn't work so I thumped it and down dropped a pocket full of pennies. I promptly went in the shop and announced my little windfall and bought some sweets. Poor old chap never said a word and let me make my purchases with my ill-gotten gains. What a gent.
